Since his graduation from Bates College in 1989, Paul
Dill’s involvement in volleyball has spanned both sexes,
nearly all age groups, and two continents. With the women’s
team at MIT, he has built what has become one of the premier
Division III volleyball programs in New England.

Dill has worked with the MIT volleyball program since 1992. He
served as an assistant coach for three years for both the MIT
men’s and women’s varsity programs. Named head
women’s coach in 1996, Dill has guided the Engineers to eight
NCAA post-season bids, two ECAC Championships and the 2012 NEWMAC
title.

Entering his 20th season, Dill is currently ranked 20th out of
over 400 active Division III coaches in the nation in overall
winning percentage (.742), averaging 27 wins and single-digit
losses per season during his career. He has never collected fewer
than 20 wins in a season and has four 30-win seasons under his
belt, lifting his career record to 505-176. A three-time AVCA
Division III New England Region Coach of the Year, Dill was named
the NEWVA Coach of the Year in 2006 and 2007. He also collected
NEWMAC Coach of the Year honors in 2002.

Dill began duplicating this success with the MIT men’s
team after being summoned to take over the reins of the program in
2004. Since then, he led the men’s program to its first NCAA
Tournament appearance in 2014 and an overall record of 269-102.
Before coaching the MIT men’s squad, Dill directed the
Emmanuel College men’s squad to a 12-8 record in its first
season of varsity competition. He also co-coached the England
Women’s Junior National Team for four years and was an
assistant coach for a Division I National League women’s club
team in the English Volleyball Association. Other experience
includes coaching the University of Connecticut men’s
volleyball club team while earning his MBA, serving as the manager
of the Bates College women’s team as an undergraduate, and
coaching the men’s open division of the Bay State Games.
